  2. Mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile

    The data mile is used in radar-related subjects and is equal to 6,000 feet (1.8288 kilometres). [90] The radar mile is a unit of time (in the same way that the light year is a unit of distance), equal to the time required for a radar pulse to travel a distance of two miles (one mile each way). Thus, the radar statute mile is 10.8 μs and the ...

  3. Geographical mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_mile

    The value formerly used in the United States was 6,080.20 feet = 1 nautical (geographical or sea) mile." [6] [7] This deprecated value of 6,080.2 feet is equivalent to 1,853.24 m. A separate reference identifies the geographic mile as being identical to the international nautical mile of 1,852 m and slightly shorter than the British nautical ...

  4. League (unit) - Wikipedia

    From 1630 to 1718 a millia was 5,564 feet (1,696 metres), making a geographical league of four millias equal 22,256 feet (6,784 m or 3.663 modern nautical miles). But from 1718 through the 1830s the millia was defined as the equivalent of just over 5,210 feet, giving a shorter geographical league of just over 20,842 feet (6,353 m or 3.430 ...

  5. Nautical mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

    A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. [2] [3] [4] Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute (⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees).

  7. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    The metric system counterpart of the MOA is the milliradian (mrad or 'mil'), being equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of the target range, laid out on a circle that has the observer as centre and the target range as radius. The number of milliradians on a full such circle therefore always is equal to 2 × π × 1000, regardless the target range. Therefore, 1 ...
